    Some information for you.

    1. Watfix runs standard Windows commands to try to undo the damage that RemoveWAT did.
    2. If these Windows commands fail then it's because of RemoveWAT.
    3. The Control problem is because Windows tries to fix a corrupted system caused by RemoveWAT.
    4. When Windows fails to fix the problem the damage cause by RemoveWAT becomes evident.
    5. When you see the Control Panel disappear you are wrongly associating it's disappearance with the Windows fix actions when the damage has been done earlier by RemoveWAT.

    (OP)
    it dont disappear i can still use the control panel and everything in there but not the system icon even when you just hover the mouse over it no info pops up.
    so how come i redid everything BUT not used the Watfix then ran the windows loader and everything is fine?
